Getting a PHP Error from Plug In

  • Hi, I received an error that WP2Social Auto Publish is using old PHP, more specifically, PHP 7.1. Do you have an update planned to fix this?

    Here’s the errors for your records:

    57 | ERROR | Extension ‘mcrypt’ is deprecated since PHP 7.1 and removed since PHP 7.2; Use openssl (preferred) or pecl/mcrypt once available instead
    57 | ERROR | Function mcrypt_create_iv() is deprecated since PHP 7.1 and removed since PHP 7.2; Use random_bytes() or OpenSSL instead
    57 | ERROR | The constant “MCRYPT_DEV_URANDOM” is deprecated since PHP 7.1 and removed since PHP 7.2

    Thanks for your time!

  • WP2Social Auto Publish works fine on PHP 7.2 and 7.3. What you found are not errors, but compatibility codes for PHP 7.1 and older versions of PHP in the Facebook API files.
    A static analysis tool only tells you what code *exists*, not what branches will be taken on a particular version. The plugin is already fully compatible with all current PHP version.
    Thank You.
